Take Your Meds
If you take prescription pills for arthritis, they obviously won’t work unless you take them as directed by your doctor. Of course, it’s only human to miss some once in a while, but this should not be a problem as long as you get back on track right away.
But, if forgetting to take your arthritis medication is a common issue, you should find ways to remind yourself.
Options include downloading an app, putting an alarm on your phone, or strategically setting your pill sorter on the kitchen counter next to the coffee machine or your toothbrush, whichever you head to first in the morning.
Sometimes, it can also be tempting to stop taking prescribed medication because of side effects. It’s fair not to want to swallow a pill that causes you to feel bad, but odds are you have other options.
People usually try several different drugs before finding the one that works best for them. When in doubt, call your Dr. They will be able to suggest other medicines you can try that may be just as effective without being unpleasant.
Thank you. I actually love all the foods mentioned so I feel lucky. I was uncertain what was meant by “supplementation with an avocado-soybean fat blend ”
What does that mean? There is a supplement like a capsule to swallow? Does that mean both avocados & soy products like milk, tofu, etc are beneficial? ty
Hi Vicki! Thank you for your inquiry. We discovered that avocado oil mixed with soybean oil is fantastic for decreasing inflammation, among other things. And there certainly are supplements on the market for this. For instance, one of Amazon’s best-sellers is Avocado300 Soy Unsaponifiables. We must note, however, that since there are no two people with the same conditions, you should always speak with a doctor before taking over-the-counter medications, including supplements.
